You’re the Reason We’re Celebrating
We’re extending Teacher Appreciation Week into a full month of celebration — with encouragement, giveaways, and community just for you.
An Inspirational Video Message
Kick off the celebration with a keynote from abstract artist Reggie Laurent, originally presented at a previous NOW Conference. In this inspiring talk, Reggie shares the unexpected path that led him to art, the teachers who shaped his journey, and how creativity continues to fuel his purpose.
